Chapter 204: Toss and Turn
(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {330+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)
Rui means auspiciousness, and Emperor Jingwen’s attitude is very clear. He hopes that the Ninth Prince will be able to have everything he wants and live in peace and safety until his old age.
In addition to the position of a prince, no matter who inherits the throne in the future, as long as the ninth prince does not make a big mistake, no one will touch him because of Emperor Jingwen’s reputation.
Although there were the Liangzhou and rescue incidents before, and Xiaojiu was the son of the imperial concubine and the grandson of the Duke of Zhen, based on his background and his age now, he should indeed be given a higher title, but for some reason, the princes always felt that something was wrong.
After thinking about it carefully, I realised that my father has been in a bad mood since the death of the crown prince. Everyone is afraid of being implicated by saying something wrong or doing something wrong, so they have been behaving themselves to the exclusion of others.
Even the court, which had been filled with endless arguments, became unusually quiet.
Let’s look at the fate of the second prince. After it was discovered that he had attacked the crown prince, his entire family suffered misfortune. As a result, in such a situation, Xiaojiu was not only not implicated, but instead went against the tide and was granted the title of prince, which really shocked everyone.
The only thing that the eldest prince and the others care about is whether their father is compensating or lying.
If it is because he feels that he does not have that much affection for Xiaojiu and needs to appease the Imperial Concubine and the Duke of Zhen, this makes sense.
